Joseph William Frazier est un boxeur américain des années 1960 et 1970. Il fut en son temps le plus grand rival de Mohamed Ali.
Poids lourd, il a été champion olympique en 1964, puis champion du monde professionnel WBA et WBC de 1970 à 1973. Il était craint pour son style offensif, ses esquives plongeantes et rotatives, et surtout pour son fameux crochet du gauche.
Le 8 mars 1971, au Madison Square Garden, il est le premier boxeur à battre Mohamed Ali. Wikipedia
